You can use the regular ASP.NET membership functions to create and manage users. Look inside N2.Edit.Membership.Edit and you will find that it is as simple as:
| To do this... | Use this code... |
|---|---|
| Add a user to a role | Roles.AddUserToRole(username, rolename); |
| Remove a user from a role | Roles.RemoveUserFromRole(username, rolename); |
| Save changes to a user | |
| Create a new user | |
| Delete a user |
How does it work?
If you look in web.config you will see that everything membership-related is actually driven by N2.Security.ContentMembershipProvider by default.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<providers> <add passwordFormat="Hashed" name="ContentMembershipProvider" type="N2.Security.ContentMembershipProvider, N2.Management" /> </providers> |
This in turn uses something called ItemBridge to persist the standard .NET Membership objects as regular ContentItems.
